Many names, especially non-European ones, differ significantly from their modern form. Some of the following are conjectural.
| Ipsamboul | Abu Simbel |
| Bozrah | probably modern Bouseira, Jordan (not “Bosrah”, modern Basra) |
| Tope | the form “stupa” is more common |
| Indian desert | Thar desert |
| Baillur | Belur |
| Chillambaram | probably Chidambaram; the author’s sources seem to have had trouble with “l” in South Indian names |
| Conjeveram | Kanchipuram |
| Futtehpore Sikhri | Fatehpur Sikri |
| Hullabid | Halebid |
| Jaunpore | Janpur |
| Jugganat | the name of the deity is Jagannath; the English name-form led to the word “juggernaut” |
| Kantonnuggur | Kantanagar |
| Oudeypore | the author seems not to have realized that this is the same place as Udaipur, cited with that spelling in the same paragraph |
| Scinde | Sind |
| Shepree or Sheepree | could not be identified. The author’s source is probably James Ferguson, who describes it as “near Gualior” (Gwalior) |
| Tanjore | Thanjavur |
| Worangul | Varangal |
| Nakhon Wat | better known as Angkor Wat |
